I considered becoming a meteorologist. But, there was a problem. I hate math.

Math is the major stumbling block for most folks who don't go into hard science.

I just found it frustrating, and it was my hardest subject. It was not easy, and though I do a lot of things that are hard (no slacker here), I just was too frustrated to continue.

"Math is the major stumbling block for most folks who don't go into hard science. "

C'mon. First of all, your unfortunate deficiency doesn't translate to everyone. Secondly, there is being good at math, and being compentent. Two distinctly different qualifications. Many science related degrees merely require competence. Competence in math can be attained by almost anyone with the appropriate motivation and attitude.

Math isn't that hard. There are lots of kids who are competent, even good at math, who go into something other than science because they want a job when they graduate.
